About

The purpose of this research is to assess and determine brain oscillations or "brain signatures" of adult participants with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) relative to adult participants without ADHD using the technique electroencephalogram (EEG). Electroencephalogram is entirely non-invasive way of tracking brain activity.The main goal of this study is to establish biological factors for determining the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria for all:

• Right-handedness

Inclusion Criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) group:

• Currently unmedicated adults with ADHD. To be given a full diagnosis of adult ADHD, the participant must have full Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-R) criteria: (1) described a chronic course of ADHD symptomatology from childhood to adulthood, and (2) endorsed a moderate or sever level of impairment attributed to the ADHD symptoms.

Exclusion Criteria for all:

• Alcohol or substance abuse (current or in the past 2 years)
• Any current Axis I psychiatric diagnosis (other than ADHD) as verified by clinical interview

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Description:

This study aims to recruit 100 adult participants: 50 of which are adults diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and 50 healthy controls. All participants will perform a total of two tasks while connected to electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors; the first task is a resting state task and after that a cognitive challenge task (attention control). Study activity is performed in a single visit which lasts two hours. Participants will also be asked to complete some behavioral questionnaires.
